The funeral speech of Brutus was weak. His oration was way too brief. He had no specific example of Caesar’s ambition. He also said that Romans would be slaves, but he didn’t support this view. A good quote that supports the lack of specific example of ambition was when Brutus said, “as he was ambitious I slew him.”Brutus made a big mistake by letting Antony speak at Caesar’s funeral. Antony’s dramatic speech won the crowd over and ultimately resulted in the downfall of the conspiracy. The emotionalstyle of Antony’s speech was much more effective than the rational approach used by Brutus.
